AFL side Geelong Cats have officially announced the signing of Mayo defender Oisín Mullin.
The confirmation comes after news filtered through last week of the 2020 Young Footballer of the Year’s impending move down under.
The 21-year-old has played in the last two All-Ireland finals and was also named an All Star in 2020.
“Oisín is a very athletic and talented prospect, and we are thrilled he has chosen to join the Cats as he transitions to AFL,” Geelong’s recruiting and list manager Stephen Wells said.
“Oisín has already established himself as an elite player in the GAA, and it is a big step to make the move to Australia. We have a strong plan in place around his development and transition to football.”
Mullin joins recent AFLW recruit Rachel Kearns, also from Mayo, Mark O’Connor who hails from Kerry and Zach Tuohy from Laois as Irish representatives in the Geelong squad.
